Fenway Park...

We had an awesome day yesterday. Charlie's good friend from college Ben and his wife Kourtney were in town for quick trip and we got to spend an awesome day with them. Kourtney was in Boston all week for a work conference and Ben decided to come out to visit and get in a a pre-requisite trip to Fenway Park. Ben has some very nice connections in the MLB organization and got the 4 of us tickets for yesterdays game. against the Cardinals.

I had intended to get a sitter for Audrey so us grown-ups could go to the game alone, but for various reasons I didn't get anyone and we made a game time decision to bring her with us. It ended up being a ton of fun! We rode the subway part of the way to the game which was her first subway ride. And she made her 1st trip to Fenway Park, quite a milestone living here. We had great seats in the section behind home plate (thanks Mrs. Sproat!) and happened to be right behind 3 other kids that were all very close to Audrey's age. She did really good under the circumstances, it was pretty hot and cramped for the 1st couple innings. She sat and ate gram crackers (and got them all over me and herself but that is another story) for a good part of the game. The Sox didn't win, but that's alright. It was fun regardless.

We had an awesome visit with Ben & Kourtney. It was a gorgeous day and we grilled out before the game and then came home and hung out on the deck (and grilled again!) and stayed up til way past my bedtime. Thanks for visiting us you guys! We hope to see you soon...
